Gingerbread Houses With Grandma

 

As the holiday season approached, the kitchen came alive with the sweet aroma of gingerbread. Grandma, wearing her flour-dusted apron, set the stage at the kitchen island, welcoming her little helpers with a warm smile.

“Today, we’re diving into our favorite holiday activity—making gingerbread houses!” she announced, her excitement contagious. The children's faces lit up, their tiny hands itching to join in on the fun. 

Grandma had prepared everything in advance: fluffy dough, vibrant sprinkles, and all sorts of festive decorations. Each grandchild grabbed a rolling pin, and laughter filled the room as they rolled out the dough, shaping it into cheerful holiday symbols—stars, trees, and gingerbread men.

“Remember, the best part is sneaking a taste along the way!” Grandma chuckled, sharing tales of her childhood when she too would have fun baking alongside her mother. The kids giggled, eagerly following her example as they nibbled on the dough.

The kitchen countertop soon transformed into a delightful mess of flour and color. Once the cookies were perfected and cooled on the racks, Grandma brought out the icing and decorations. The island turned into a creative zone as each child set about constructing their own gingerbread masterpiece, their eyes sparkling with pride.

As they admired their creations, Grandma gathered them close together. It was a moment filled with gratitude and joy, as the spirit of Christmas enveloped them. The kitchen, buzzing with laughter and love, was a place where the memories made would be cherished forever. XoXo - Gem
